A good weight for what?For a pro rider, a little on the heavy side.
For a amateur racers, still a little heavy
For a healthy leisure cyclist. Just fine.
For a full kit wanker, a little on the light side 👿http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Jason….NEVER tap down on a seized seatpost that you know nothing about.There are a few reasons it could be seized, but most are caused by two things. Inserting it wrong or forcing the wrong size in.
So if you tap down and it is the wrong sized post…you are going to end up splitting a frame

a bar through the seat post as close to the frame as possible, that will give you much better torsion compared to the saddle method.Really? Wouldn’t have thought a seat post would suffer from wind up, irrespective of length of post exposed. (On other hand might break clamp rails.)
Normally a seat post wouldn’t suffer from any kind of torsional force. But everything else has been tried, the LBS has tried it aswell. So I bet it has been in a vice a couple of times there, depending on how tight they had it in a vice, I wouldn’t trust putting stress on it to far from the frame.
This kind of thing will happen

Always try and twist it out, don’t try and pull up or push it down.Once you get it twisting, give it a pull up, if it comes out first time, prefect, if not, put some oil down and keep twisting.
If you have tried this already with the saddle, fine, but with a bar through the seat post as close to the frame as possible, that will give you much better torsion compared to the saddle method.

What I have said is correct and that is how the game has ALWAYS worked.

Oh fun and games…..If you have tried EVERYTHING possible and the LBS have tried it, then it is a case of cutting it out.
I’m trying to think, does the allez have a small hole underneath the seat clamp?
That is your best bet for getting it out. There are MANY ways to get it. I would go on as low as you can in the seatpost with a drill. If the frame does not have a little notch then go in as close to the frame as possible without touching the frame.
Start with a small drill bit, put a hole in BOTH sides and go up in size. Until a point you can put a something sizeable through, a like piece of round bar.
Get someone to sit on the frame to keep it held down, while you take each end of the round bar or similar and twist and turn it, until the seatpost comes loose.
If this does not make sense. I could make a simple video for you, I have a couple of old frames with stuck seatposts in the workshop ready to be scrapped.

Does it HAVE to be your lbs?I bet I could do you a Cannondale Synapse Ultegra Disc at a better price than the Synape 105….Although that is the alloy.
BUT, I also think I could do a Cannondale Synapse Carbon Ultegra for around that price aswell 😉
